Hi,

I have created a WCF service application for my project.I have hosted this service on iis.when i try to configure this service in the client machine ,i get an error in the place where i create an instance for the service and call the service methods.The client to which Im trying to cofigure my service is a c# Class Library ,and the framework is framework 4.0.

the error is as follows:

Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'ServiceReference1.IService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.

Pls lemme know where i have gone wrong.

Any help regarding this error would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks in advance

Hi,

First add ServiceReference in c# Class Library. Then, try the below code in c# Class Library:

//Create object of the Binding
Binding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
//Create endpointAddress of the Service
EndpointAddress endpointAddress = new
EndpointAddress("http://localhost/TestService.svc?wsdl");
//Create Client of the Service
TestServiceClient serviceClient = new TestServiceClient(binding, endpointAddress);
//Call Service method using ServiceClient
serviceClient.GetData();

Thanks.

getting this error after apply this http://vkalra.in/WCF_SERVICE/RestServiceImpl.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
